90 Billion Barrels of Oil and 1,670 Trillion Cubic Feet of Natural Gas

Why would we want to invest in the past?

The internal combustion engine is 100 year old technology. Even with the interference of the oil giants the production of electric cars is coming on line. Solar, wind, and other clean sources of electricity are avaiable now. The technology is now "off the shelf".

Why would we want to continue to be slaves to the oil giants? The fact is that we pay way to much for energy.

If we had invested the one trillion dollars that we will have spent on the occupation of Iraq on developing the new technologies we would have secured a future of cheap and abundent energy and removed the enormous power of the overfed energy companies.

stop making sense.
